There is a mountain to the south of Huaijiang Mountain. There are fire clouds flowing all year round on the top of the mountain, so it is called Chixia Feiliu. The name of this mountain is extremely gorgeous, but the environment is really bad. The fire clouds that flow all year round are filled with strong fire poison gas. The red clouds reflected in the flowing mountains are barren of grass and extremely barren.
On this day, a group of monks came from outside the mountain. The one leading the way was dressed in green clothes, followed closely by a group of people riding strange beasts.
After three days and three nights of hard work, the monk in Tsing Yi finally returned to the place where he found the Red Fire Copper Essence. He stopped and said with a complex expression: "Pavilion Master, the red glow has flown here, and the next trail will not be disturbed." , farewell."
Ever since his scheming was revealed that day in the Seven Star Pavilion, the monk in green had always had a feeling like a light on his back, and wished he could leave the sight of the Master of the Seven Star Pavilion as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, little friend. Before collecting the Red Fire Copper Essence, you'd better accompany me all the way."
The monk in green shuddered when he heard the words, and immediately clenched his fists, feeling anxious in his heart.
"We've reached the road, but we're still not letting him go. Does it mean that the Master of the Seven-Star Pavilion wants to silence him?"
At this moment, the monk in Tsing Yi felt deep regret in his heart. He was so obsessed with money that he was seeking the skin of a tiger!
Zhan Yu saw the panic of the monk in green, and explained casually: "Don't think too much, this pavilion master just doesn't want to cause trouble. After all, the situation of selling two goods for one thing also happens in the market."
The monk in Tsing Yi repeatedly assured: "Pavilion Master, don't worry, Xiaodao will never have such thoughts."
"Then stay with me for now. I will let you go after collecting the red fire copper spirit here." Zhan Yu signaled to continue leading the way.
The monk in green was helpless. He knew that he had no choice at this time and could only continue to lead the way towards Chixia Feiliu Mountain.
"Da da... da da..."
Zhan Yu rode the Chasing Wind and Thunder Beast into Chixia Feiliu. The farther into the mountain, the higher the temperature. As he went deeper into the mountain, he put away his mount.
The monk in green followed behind, looking up at the burning clouds above the red clouds. He felt like he had entered the furnace, and his whole body was burned red. Looking at the appearance of the Lord of the Seven Stars Pavilion strolling leisurely in the courtyard, he seemed not to be affected at all. , I couldn't help but marvel at its power.
"You said there is a vicious ape in this mountain. What does it look like? Why haven't you seen it along the way?"
The master of the Seven Star Pavilion asked, and the monk in green quickly explained: "There is a white-headed, bare-footed vicious ape in the mountain. Last time I just came out of the mountain, I accidentally picked up a piece of red fire copper essence, and was driven away by this ape. Maybe the vicious ape went out today. , so we can enter the mountain smoothly. It is said that the master of the pavilion is so blessed that he deserves to get this treasured land."
Thanks to the monk's quick wit, he was able to praise the Seven Star Pavilion Master while excusing himself.
"Bare-headed and bare-footed, are you talking about Zhu Yan, the strange beast in the fire?" Zhan Yu turned back to look at the monk in green.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded in Chixia Feiliu Mountain.
The monk in green was shocked when he heard this: "Here he comes, the copper stick held by the vicious ape is as heavy as a mountain, Pavilion Master, be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a giant ape covered in flames leaping over the mountain. With a bang, the giant ape trembled and knelt in front of Zhan Yu.
The monk in green clothes was dumbfounded. When he faced him, he struck him with sticks. When he faced the strong man, he bowed his head and bowed. Is this the ferocious ape he met?
The giant ape's arms were as red as red fire, and he carefully held an emerald green wooden sign and said: "In the past, the little ape visited his benefactor. There was a thunderstorm that day. Fortunately, the little ape survived with the help of his benefactor. Later, he awakened the blood of Zhu Yan and wandered away. I have searched for traces of my benefactor throughout the wilderness, but the world is vast and I have never met my benefactor, so I have settled in this mountain for more than three thousand years, never thinking..."
Speaking of this, the giant ape actually started crying like a child.
Listening to Zhu Yan's words and looking at the wooden sign in his hand, Zhan Yu was shocked and felt as if he was in another world. His thoughts crossed the long river of time and were pulled into the world where he had just survived the tribulation of the gods and was accompanied by the apes in the mountains. that year.
Although the Zhu Yan in front of him no longer looks like the young ape he once was, the soul-nurturing tablet he made with his own hands cannot be fake. General Zhan Yu helped Zhu Yan up and sighed: "The things in this world are really wonderful. I gave him a helping hand to save him." The little white ape has such a good fortune, how can your parents and brothers still..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhan Yu paused. The original Black Ape was a family of four. After so many years, only one ape came here, and the others are self-explanatory.
Seeing his benefactor mentioning his parents and brothers, Zhu Yan did not show any sadness on his face. Instead, he said very freely: "The little ape's parents and brothers were not able to enlighten their spiritual wisdom and enter the path of spiritual practice. When they grew old, they were buried in a cave to be with the green mountains and green waters. , this is all due to the skills given by the benefactor left by the gods, so that the little ape can protect them from the prey of tigers and wolves."
"Okay, okay!"
Zhan Yu said three good words in a row, which showed that he was not in a calm mood at this time.
Zhu Yan suddenly saw the Taoist in Qingyi behind his benefactor. The so-called enemy was extremely jealous of meeting him, but this time he said magnanimously: "You bird Taoist, for the sake of finding my benefactor, you stole my copper." I won’t care about fine matters with you.”
Taoist Qingyi was dumbfounded at this time. This damn thing can be related. It seems that the Master of Qixing Pavilion and Zhu Yan knew each other tens of thousands of years ago. Now they meet in this mountain through their own hands. I don’t know which side is lucky. Okay, but no matter what, it’s not my luck!
Zhu Yan's mind was sharp, and he quickly thought of the reason why his benefactor appeared, and immediately said: "Is my benefactor here because of the red fire copper spirit in the mountain?"
"Ahem"
Zhan Yu was a little embarrassed at this time. The Chixia Feiliu Mountain was obviously already occupied by Xiao Zhuyan. If he took the copper essence from the mountain again, he would be taking advantage of the younger generation.
When Zhu Yan saw his benefactor's expression, he immediately understood. He turned his eyes and said, "My benefactor, I am also an outsider from Chixia Feiliu. A dragon spirit has been born in this mountain for a long time. The dragon spirit hides in the underground fire pool all day long. I After fighting with it for thousands of years, it doesn’t dare to go ashore, and I don’t dare to enter the pool, so there’s nothing anyone can do about it.”
"Since my benefactor is here, I can take down this dragon spirit and get all the treasures of the red glow. I can also take the opportunity to express my bad breath."
The red fire copper essence is produced in the fire veins in the core of the earth. It has been calcined by the energy of the earth fire for endless years. It has no impurities in its entire body and has absorbed the essence of the earth fire. It is the best material for refining fire magic weapons.
The Earth Fire Yuan Copper that was used to refine the small red clay stove also belongs to the Earth Treasure of the Ancient Red Copper series, but its quality is several levels inferior to that of the Red Fire Copper Essence.
If the Earth Fire Copper is the entry level of the Red Copper series, then the Red Fire Copper Essence is the top of the Red Copper series. In Zhan Yu’s knowledge, the next level up is the legendary master of refining the Xuanyuan Sword. Mountain copper, it can be said to be a ceiling of the red copper series.
Shouyang Mountain was the dojo of the great uncle Laozi later, and it had a great influence on the power of the human race. Now the human race has not yet been born, and the great uncle has not established the human religion to achieve the status of a saint, so this mountain has not yet appeared in the wild.
Anyway, Zhan Yu has never heard the name of Shouyang Mountain so far. Otherwise, he would really like to dig up some of the copper treasures in Shouyang Mountain.
Seeing that Zhu Yan was so knowledgeable, Zhan Yu borrowed the donkey at the foot of the slope and said, "In that case, let's go to the underground fire pool and meet the dragon spirits born and raised on the ground."
He plans to use a hundred years to dispose of the useless things in Huaijiang Shanfang City in exchange for enough spiritual materials to refine the Zhoutian Star Fighting Sword Formation. Such a large-scale weapon refining plan is absolutely impossible with the quality of the small red clay stove. bear.
Once he misses this red fire copper essence, he will have to find another spiritual material to refine the cauldron. This will inevitably delay the weapon refining plan. He doesn't know how long it will be postponed. This plan involves the Tao of Da Luo, and he doesn't want to have it. Any mistakes.
Zhu Yan was overjoyed when he heard this and said happily: "That's how it should be, I will lead the way for my benefactor."
In the underground fire pool, the dragon spirit was worried. A few days ago, he threw out a piece of red fire copper essence to attract outside monks into the mountain. He had the intention of driving away wolves and devouring tigers, but the monk was unable to be used and was killed by Zhu Yansan. The two sticks beat him so hard that the mouse ran away.
He is now extremely conflicted. He wants to attract stronger outside monks to come in and drive away Zhu Yan, but he is also worried that the situation will be out of control and the mountain will be occupied by stronger ones. He only regrets that the time since his birth was too short and he has not yet grown up. Met that damn Zhu Yan.
But soon he no longer had to worry about it. The strategy of driving away wolves and devouring tigers got out of control at the beginning, and had already attracted an enemy far more powerful than Zhu Yan.
"The little dragon spirit appears quickly, your Grandpa Zhu Yan is here again."
Zhu Yan came to the underground fire pool, but his old enemy, the dragon spirit, did not appear, so he stirred up the fire pool with a long stick made of red fire copper essence in his hand.
At this time, the dragon spirit was hiding at the bottom of the fire pool, filled with regret and fear. He had already discovered Zhu Yan and the outside monks behind Zhu Yan.
Seeing that the dragon spirit in Zhu Yan's mouth was lai in the fire pool and did not dare to show up, Zhan Yu did not want to waste time, and immediately mobilized the power of the five elements to transform into a five-color giant palm, reached into the bottom of the fire pool, and fished out the trembling dragon spirit. out.
"The master of this pavilion wants to refine a precious cauldron out of red fire copper. Are you willing to be the spirit in the cauldron?"
After all, he was an elf born and raised in the earth. Zhan Yu gave him the most basic respect and asked about it first.
At this time, the dragon spirit was suppressed by the power of the five elements. There was no room for resistance. He nodded quickly and said: "The little dragon is willing to be a weapon spirit. Please forgive me!"
"Okay, those who know the current affairs are heroes. You are born from the combination of the innate fire element and the earth's fire energy. You can barely be regarded as innate sacred. This pavilion master will not treat you badly. I will give you a chance to transform into a dragon later."
Naturally, if you want to refine the treasure, you have to clear the place. Zhan Yu said behind him: "Zhu Yan, take this little friend to wait outside the cave first."
"Yes, benefactor."
Zhu Yan immediately accepted the order, turned around and glared at the Taoist priest in Qingyi and said: "Let's go, follow me and wait outside the cave."
After Zhu Yan and Qing Yi Xiaodao left, Zhan Yu still set up a five-element formation to ensure safety. Then he placed a restraint on Jiao Ling's body and sat cross-legged by the fire pool.
The power of the Five Elements suppressing his body was removed. Jiao Ling subconsciously twisted his body, and then he didn't dare to move rashly. He just stayed in the air, his golden eyes widening.
Once he accepted the reality, the fear in Jiao Ling's heart disappeared. What he was curious about now was, what was the so-called opportunity to transform into a dragon?
Zhan Yu adjusted his breath a little, exhaled the turbid air in his mouth, and then began to cast spells. There were still many things to do in Huai Jiangshan, and he didn't want to delay.
What was connected under the fire pool was the fire veins. Zhan Yu directly checked the location of the fire veins and meridians with Dharma eyes, and then five-color spiritual light emerged from his hands, and he thrust into the fire pool like claws, and soon the entire red glow flow began to tremble.
The Qingyi Taoist outside the cave saw the mountain shaking and was shocked and said: "With such a battle, does the Master of the Seven Star Pavilion intend to refine the entire Chixia Feiliu Mountain!"
Zhu Yan put the copper stick upright on one side, and exclaimed with gleaming eyes: "Such a magical power must be done by a man. What a good trick for my benefactor!"
The veins of earth fire were extracted, and the copper essence of red fire was also stripped away. Chixia Feiliu suddenly lost his soul and bones, and the mountain began to sink and collapse.
At this time, deep underground, Zhan Yu had merged all the red fire copper essence from Chixia Feiliu with the veins of earth fire into the fire pool in front of him.
If he hadn't blessed the fire pool with his great magic power, the land would have exploded long ago, turning into copper slurry and flowing for thousands of miles.
At this critical moment, he frowned and said: "Weapon Spirit, return to your position quickly!"
At the command, the dragon spirit hovering aside immediately trembled, and with a flick of its tail, it disappeared into the fire pool. This dragon spirit was originally the spirit of the flying red clouds. As soon as it entered the fire pool, it gained violent power. appease.
Seeing this, Zhan Yu's expression became a little more relaxed. He took a deep breath again and shouted: "Get up!"
Under the control of mana, a huge dragon's head slowly poked out of the fire pool, almost bursting the fire pool. Then the dragon scales scratched the edge of the fire pool and rose until the dragon's head broke through the shackles of the mountain and jumped into the air. .
Zhu Yan and Taoist Qingyi were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. This was really a miraculous skill!
At the moment when the new fire dragon rushed into the sky, Zhan Yu's figure flashed and appeared directly in front of the fire dragon.
"hold head high!"
The fire dragon swallowed up the entire mountain's fire veins and red fire copper essence, and suddenly felt that his whole body was filled with explosive power, and he couldn't help but roar.
Zhan Yu was standing in front of the fire dragon. Naturally, he couldn't tolerate the fire dragon's arrogance, so he couldn't help but shouted: "Quiet."
The roar suddenly stopped immediately. At this time, the fire dragon's big mouth had not had time to close, and it did not dare to move for a while.
"The next step is your chance to transform into a dragon!"
Zhan Yu told him, and then took out the bronze statue of the dragon head exchanged from the secret treasury of the Wu clan, stimulating the innate dragon energy in it.
As soon as the innate dragon energy came out, the fire dragon trembled with excitement. He finally knew the so-called opportunity to transform into a dragon. As long as he swallowed this innate dragon energy, transforming into a dragon was not an easy task.
"Come here!" Zhan Yu waved.
When the fire dragon heard the sound, he looked forward and opened his mouth. Zhan Yu shot the innate dragon energy into the fire dragon's mouth with a flick of his finger.
"Ouch!"
The innate dragon energy entered his abdomen, and the powerful energy directly held the fire dragon's body upright, and then the heartbreaking pain surged in, almost lifting the Tianling Cap.
At this time, the fire dragon's consciousness had been overwhelmed by the severe pain, and he did not know that his heavenly spirit cap had indeed been lifted, and a pair of red dragon horns were slowly emerging.
Seeing how tight the fire dragon was, Zhan Yu immediately knocked it out without having to listen to the howling of ghosts and wolves. Then he used the immortal method of the Supreme Purity to refine the bronze statue of the dragon head that had lost its innate dragon energy into juice, and dipped it in it like a sword. Take the juice and carve talismans and restrictions on the body of the fire dragon.
This dragon head bronze statue is also a component of the Nine Dragon Cauldron, an innate spiritual treasure, and must not be wasted.
After seventy-seven forty-nine days, the basic restrictions were burned, and the fire dragon finally merged with the innate dragon energy and evolved into the body of a fire dragon.
"wake up!"
Zhan Yu kept flicking, and the fire dragon opened his eyes in response. After a long groan, it turned into a dragon-patterned tripod and fell into his hands.
"Congratulations to my benefactor on your success in refining the treasure. Please accept me as your disciple!"
Zhu Yan checked the time and immediately sent a request to become a disciple. He knew that when the treasure was refined, it would be the day when his benefactor left. If he didn't become a disciple, he would have no chance.
Zhan Yu pondered for a moment, then helped Zhu Yan up and said, "I have no plans to accept a disciple yet, but we are destined to be together. Would you like to stay with me as a servant?"
"Yes, yes!"
Zhu Yan thought for a moment and immediately agreed. He originally traveled across the wilderness in search of his benefactor to repay his kindness. Now that he can stay with his benefactor, it doesn't matter whether he becomes his disciple or not.
"good."
Zhan Yu praised it and said with a smile: "I took the treasure from your mountain, but I can't let you get nothing. I will take the red clouds in the sky and refine it into a treasure before giving it to you."
As he spoke, he opened the dragon-patterned cauldron and instantly absorbed the red glow from the sky.
"Congratulations, Pavilion Master."
The monk in green also extended his congratulations and took the opportunity to say: "This red fire copper essence has been obtained by the master of the pavilion and refined into a treasure tripod. It's time for Xiaodao to say goodbye."
The deal has been reached, so Zhan Yu will naturally not break his promise and agrees: "We meet in the mountains and rivers. We will meet again someday."
The monk in green clasped his fists in return, turned around and left, all in one movement.
Looking at the other party's back, Zhan Yu suddenly asked: "Don't you know your little friend's name?"
"Xiao Dao Qingyuan, don't bother the Pavilion Master to worry about it."
The monk in green staggered, his steps became faster, and he disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye...
